macOS 27 Beta breaks the ability to boot Asahi Linux(phoronix.com)

tl;dr: Apple's macOS 27 "Golden Gate" beta hides the Asahi Linux partition from the boot picker and Startup Disk, making it impossible to boot into Asahi Linux on Apple Silicon Macs (though no data is lost). Asahi developers have filed a bug report with Apple and advise users to stay on macOS 26 or keep a secondary older macOS install. Separately, Linux 7.2 will add boot support for Apple M3 devices, though it's not yet usable for end-users.
HN Discussion:
  • Bug is already fixed or will be fixed soon, undermining article's concern
  • ~This is an unintentional bug, not malicious; Apple supports Asahi
  • It's just a beta, reactions and assumptions of ill intent are premature
  • ARM platforms are generally problematic for Linux users
  • Question about whether macOS install is required alongside Asahi
